Could the best shirt of 2026 be a rugby release? That's what kit fanatic Chris Chat Shirts thinks it could be.
Adidas France Rugby 120th Anniversary Jersey
The new Adidas France 120th anniversary collection celebrates 120 years since France played their first-ever official Test match on 1 January 1906 against the New Zealand national rugby union team, known as the “Originals”, at the Parc des Princes in Paris, losing 38–8. More than a century later, the design language of early rugby remains instantly recognisable.
The Adidas France 120th anniversary rugby shirt features a soft polo-style collar, a clean sky-blue base and heritage crest detailing, paired with gold Trefoil branding and tricolor three-stripe trim. It leans heavily into vintage sportswear territory rather than modern performance kit design, which is precisely why it stands out.
While football shirts dominate most kit conversations, rugby’s traditional silhouette with a thicker collar offers a refreshing alternative. The restrained design and historical nod give this release a timeless feel.
